Vitamin D: Is This the Miracle Vitamin?

Excellent coverage of a vitally important topic. I have often wondered why autism seems so prevalent among kids these days. Little did I realize that so many diseases of our generation can be traced to our community’s avoidance of sunshine.I am embarrassed at my country’s Health Ministry stance on Vitamin D levels and the hypocrisy at Government level.Thanks to Ian Wishart for producing this well researched book laying out the evidence for a public health campaign to raise Vitamin D levels

This book, as is expected of this author, very well written, researched and the evidence is presented in a manner understandable by professionals and laymen alike.If you are at all concerned about your health and the wellbeing of your loved ones, you will read this book and take onboard the implied remedies of natural sunshine and maybe also vitamin D3 supplements.

I believe it is a cure for perhaps a lot of things, my doctor prescribed this to me because my vit d levels where next to none, I have felt amazing since being on these tablets, 50,000iu per week, my energy levels are back and mood is great. highly recommend reading this book.

A must read for anyone interested in your daily health. I just had my first winter completely free of cold & flue, not even a sniffle,I would read the book and then make up your own mind on the importance of Vitamin D

Well written and informative! Vit D is the best treatment for almost anything. I have been putting my patients on D for a few years with great results.

This book was researched like all of Ian's books - leaving nothing to dispute. I found it a bit hard going though and would have been happy with half of the 'facts' to support Ian's points.

Every subject I read that Wishart writes about draws me into the subject. He writes so clearly and precisely and everything is such an easy read.

I felt this book was a great summary of the research around Vitamin D and its health effects, and the excellent referencing made it easy to read more technical research if i needed to. A very thought provoking book.

A well researched book, fully referenced which strongly points to the possibility that vitamin D deficiency may inhibit the body's ability to defend itself against all manner of infections and ailments. Many health authorities around the world are slow to acknowledge this because it flies in the face of the medical advice to keep out of the sun and smother ourselves with sun cream. A good dose of Vitamin D is hard to get from diet whereas a relatively short exposure to the sun provides a big dose. This is how humans have been getting it for thousands of years but modern medicine thinks it knows better. The pharmaceutical industry makes lots of money out of treating things which the body could do itself with adequate levels of Vitamin D. Read it and make your own mind up.

Very well written, extremely informative in detail about vitamin D and its main source the sun. Balanced points around UV rays and exposure to them against using sunscreen and does sunscreen help anyway. Insights into Vitamin D4 role in prevention of many cancers, mental health and other illnesses. Couldn't put the book down. A book everyone must read so they can make up their own minds about increasing their Vitamin D intake.

Bought after my consultant's diagnosis of 'profoundly low' levels of vitamin D for 10 years!, I found this straightforward book very informative and have managed to get an apology from my GP as well as a promise to make my situation known to all medics in the practice so that this subject is taken more seriously. Unfortunately, I think the journalistic outer cover might put off serious readers. Don't be put off.

Absolutely fascinating reading and in my opinion a 'must have' for every family. Start enjoying the sun (responsibly) more - it's what we all wanted to hear and this book backs up the necessity of Vit D from sunlight for health. Just read it!

Such extensive research and it has completely changed my thinking on sunshine and Vit D supplements!!!! A very readable book.
